In the end, making a political issue personal might have done in Assemblywoman Michele Fiore.
The Las Vegas Republican was coming off a tumultuous week — she’d been deposed and then quickly restored as majority leader-designate and chairwoman of the Assembly Taxation Committee by Speaker-designate John Hambrick, R-Las Vegas — when she doubled down on allegations that certain Republican forces were targeting her and other conservatives.
Speaking on the Alan Stock radio show on KDWN-AM 720 on Tuesday, Fiore not only repeated her rhetoric about a “war on women,” but blamed some of the alleged infantrymen in that conflict: Republican businessman Monte Miller, and political consultants Cory Christensen and Nathan Emens.
On Twitter, Emens — a consultant who has worked with Hambrick — predicted “Fiore will be saying ouch soon!” Later that night, Hambrick took to Facebook to condemn Fiore’s attacks on Miller, Christensen and Emens.

I believe that there is indeed an establishment purge of conservative republicans, everywhere, including here in Nevada. The elites have indeed declared war on their base, because they believe we have nowhere to go. Personally, I’m disgusted and fed up with the lot of them, locally and nationally.
A third-party Ted/Sarah ticket could make a third party a viable alternative.
I’m on board that train if it goes.
I think you are right and I hope 2016 is the year it becomes viable. If not at the POTUS level, maybe enough congressional seats can be won to make a real difference. In any case, if something does not happen to slap down the ruling elites of both parties the Republic is doomed.
Conservatives don’t have to “go” anywhere. They can just stay home in November 2016.
Having a conservative President helps, but with GOPe enemies in both houses little will be accomplished. Reagan promised to end the Department of Education but they would not let him. Reagan was just a short lived stall of the march to the New World Order.
Actually, Reagan’s administration was a blip on the screen, undone by his own appointments, such as Sandra Day O’Connor, amnesty, King Day, what else?
That didn’t help for sure but a congress that crammed budgets full of pork at the last minute didn't help either. Reagan would have been much more value to the Country if he had managed to unseat Ford. His age the second term took its toll.
